ETS2 1.19 Update Open Beta

We are happy to confirm that we are on the final approach for ETS2 1.19 Update release. An Open Beta is available on Steam now.

The most prominent features of this update are:

Hungary expansion - we have added two new cities to the Going East! content - Pécs and Szeged

Mod Manager - for ease of preview and organization of modded content. We encourage all mod makers to check out Mod Manager documentation for instructions on how to make sure that your mods are well prepared for the new Mod Manager.

Other notable improvements include:

Manual control for automatic transmission (shifting hints, switch between manual/auto)

Please note that Open Betas are released for advanced users who want to get a preview of upcoming stable release functionality, and for mod makers to give them a chance to make any necessary changes before the official update is out. Anyway it's a good idea to make a backup of your player profile if you want a safe route to revert back to stable version.

After reaching 100% discovered original map with both expansions, this is a nice addition to the Going East and I'm very excited to see what's next (regarding the map everyone wants to see Portugal, Spain and the rest of the France and Italy).

Since this update it's very difficult to launch the game, I must launch the game in Open GL 64 bits, and even with that, there are still problems at startup, and this for very many people, I inquired. It would be nice to do something for these people!

volvo scania horn still havent been replaced i see and it still jumps into neutral when i alt+tab out of the game, even when i paused first. surely someone else has noticed this. and i hope that random shuffle/creaking sound is gone

When you truck makes that noise, it means your truck is damaged (I think above 20%) press the F7 button whilst driving to see damage report it shows your truck and trailer damage. Also if your trailer is damaged on a job, at the end you loose money and XP which varies on how much damage there is

Thank you very much! This is the first time I try a public beta, only for the new map! I haven't found any errors yet, and I really get the feeling of Hungary, if I drive on these roads. It looks absolutely realistic.Keep working, you are doing a great job!

how abt real trailers its high time for spending time on trailers dlc from schmitz krone kogel and we need cargo for heavy haulage we dont have single realistc trailers in game or heavy haulages so look upon dlcs ...for noteboom or doll with a turning axle would look cool pls also look upon convoy trucking with pilots etc.....ty

It always says the mods aren't there on first run with this new mod manager, it will load them as normal though. It's just because its going over to the new mod manager system. The crash is likely down to an incompatible mod. A lot of people are having problems with truck mods, so I would start there. Also map mods which have an affect around Hungry will also cause problems.

I like the In-cabin sounds and the improved Indicator/Blinker sounds too on the New Actros! It adds nicely to the authenticity. I remember e-mailing you guys about the Interior sounds a while ago and am really happy I've got what I was hoping for....keep up the dedication!

wheel sound,good.what about the wheel sound on roads with water? how stupid you are! I can even know it with my ass! the sound of wheel on road with water is copletely different! then where's the sound? why you can't just think something with your brain instead of waiting for players to point out the problems? If I were you, Iwould feel ashamed, add the sound of wheels on road with waters! and the AI vihicles ! or it will be hypophrenia for you! I know my words are dirty, but I'm really really angry when I find out the wheel sound is still half-baked.

jackson"s right game looks promising but lacks lotzzz of basic stuff....ai is holy shittt crap.....ets2 has simple life on roads...only trucking with no sense....no traffics no good trailers and all mostly same intersections and reststop.....kinda bored ets2!!!!

keep map expansion on hold give us better realistic trailers(as its a simulator) like trucks...look good...and pls update graphic issues of AA and scaling even 200% with mlaa disabled 1920\1080 looks crap....hdr is very bright....pls fix issues and later focus on maps....

Whoever is running the SCS company, IMO.... is a freaking moron. Here we have a game that depends on map expansions for revenue.... so what does SCS do? Give away 2 new cities for FREE. SCS could have easily added a third city for a 3 city upgrade... and tacked a 2 Euro price tag to it. They put price tags on worthless paintjobs, overcharge for 5 lousy new trailers, and give cities away for FREE for a game that depends on map upgrades for income.

While at the same time, I notice countless posts from people trying to throw their money at SCS. "I will pay you for Tandems". "I will pay you for double trailers". "I will pay you for the ability to purchase own trailers"... etc. etc. But does SCS offer this stuff??? NO. Of course not. That would provide people with stuff they are willing to pay for.

Instead, SCS wastes hours upon hours creating stuff to give us for FREE. "2 setting windshield wipers". "Speed limit on GPS". "New vegatation". "Tire Sets", etc,. Then... SCS staff runs around the country side spending what little money they do receive so they can boast that they sat in a real freakin truck. No damn wonder they are a small company with a small team.

If it were me running SCS.... the first thing I would do is... look on the forum boards to see what you people will pay me for. Tandems and Rigids you say??? Fair enough.... guess what i'm creating??? Go ahead guess. The ability to purchase your own trailers? You will pay me for that??? Great.... guess what i'm working on next??? No seriously.... I want you to guess.

Dear SCS... and whoever is running that damn place..... you're a fucking idiot.

How can I say this is layman terms...people like you are not welcomed to this type of community go to another company that creates truck simming games..........exactly There is none!!! Every other company besides SCS has failed at it and failed hard Rig and Roll example a good platform, however missing the core and I think the company is gone now?, I can't even think of another truck simming game I know there are arcade style ones but nothing NOTHING! even close to what SCS offers us. You guys at SCS do a great job Thank You for everything and keep on trucking!!!

For almost 3 years I have watched as people practically begged SCS for countless things. And IMO much of the requests were/are fair requests. Here we are today with the game reaching 3 years old.... and STILL these requests are being ignored.... or at the very least... still non-existant. And these are things people are willing to pay for.

If you are trying to run a company.... and I assume for profit.... how many brain cells does it take to realize that you offer the people the very things they are begging you to sell them? Ponder on that for a few minutes..... how many brains cells does that take?

It is not polite to insult others, especially if you turned wrong. I think it's another good move SCS. Do you think it is free update? Well, you're wrong. They know very well what they are doing. To get the 2 towns, at first you must buy 'Going East!' DLC and that is not for free. I bet, that a lot of people don't have it. This is a great way to make extra money. It seems that you have no sense to business. Consider a few times before you write something, because you can easily make a fool of yourself.

Whether or not SCS actually knows what they are doing.... is a "matter of opinion". You have your opinion, and I have mine. Its ok if our opinions are not the same. I'm not going to argue my opinion against yours, or anyone elses... because I have no issues with anyone of this forum and don't wish to have any. IMO, everyone is entitled to have their own opinion... regardless of whether or not we agree with it.

However, I do have issues with what i'm noticing from SCS... the company, I as well, have paid money to support. It seems that SCS is very good at taking our money, while slamming the door to, not only communicating with its supporters, but also, taking the time to create a compromise of our interests vs their directional goals.

When you constantly see a group of people offering a company money for a particular service/opportunity, and that company only continues to ignore in silence all these monetary offers... it makes me wonder just how important are we to SCS? When SCS wants something from us, such as money, feedback, beta testing, many line up to offer SCS exactly those things. There's no hesitation. When we want something from SCS.... we continue to go without. There's no compromise.

SCS has the perfect setup. They get from us what they want.... and in return... they give us only what they decide to toss out at us.... again... for their own benefit. The only people I see benefiting from SCS is the mod makers... who seem to recieve updates to the blender tools, and modding format. Though even that too is for the purpose of making the game look better which in turn... benefits SCS. In that sense... I agree. SCS knows what they are doing.

But... being that I am seeing alot of money being lost by SCS each time they ignore request after request from yet another group of supporters... in that sense.... has me questioning the business sense of SCS. I'm not suggesting that they give us everything. That would be foolish to even demand. But it would be nice to see SCS look after someone.... rather than treat us like a bunch of sheep that will follow them unconditionally.

I agree that my original post is greatly out-of-line. And I admit.... my manerism insults "me" more than it insults "SCS". However, I stand by that post simply because it illustrates the frustration of trying to support a company... that I feel is not offering fair services in return.

I appreciate the FREE updates SCS gives us... but... I don't want everything for FREE. FREE will not help SCS grow. Without growth, their games are limited. I don't want to support a limited game/company. Why would I want to do that?

They need money. People are offering them money. "I" am offering them money. Its frustrating to see SCS not have a better system for giving us some of the things we would like to have.... in return for some of our money.

In some points you are right. Some things can not unfortunately be change. I think that some of the projects you have posted SCS finally implement. It unfortunately takes time, a lot of time. I suspect that at this moment they have large capacity when it comes to graphic artists. Scandinavia is made and that's why they made this update. I suspect that they can not complain about the money. They may probably lack the usual programmer, or they are thinking over the further strategy and how the ETS 2 is to be further developed. I think with time you get used to rate the SCS works :) I did the same. We can only wait and write about our wishes. SCS remember about RIGID TRUCKS.

I agree the only problem with your comment was the loaded emotions behind it (the insults )

But i understand why. Because it's frustrating to see people like me wanting to pay extra for features like double trailers while the company is doing completely other things and repeating the fact that our support is needed to keep the company alive by purchasing paintjob DLC's.

It obvious the company would do better if it just focused on the requests but maybe they just don't have the resources to get the game to that level.... But on the other side it also feels like they caused this themselves.

starting on American truck sim while ETS2 still doesn't have the features people have been asking for even before ETS2 was released.

it's frustrating because i'm one of those who've been waiting since way back for double trailers, then to hear they started on American truck sim is like they dont take my money seriously... I was willing to pay top euros for such a feature.

Being that i'm someone who used to teach Web/Graphic Design, and have taken a basic look at Video Game design using Unity and Blender.... SCS is very lucky that I haven't continued my study of creating video games because.... from my observation.... SCS isn't much competition. I wouldn't have to work very hard to leave them behind. They are damn lucky I don't decide to do exactly that.

its not about talking dude....its about services or things dat are real....a trucking sim like ets 2 is best i agree...but promises of reality is non existent see the real life trucking and ets has only 60% reality i guess....do all roads look same or is der no life on roads in real or do u see....all lanes clear free of traffic , cities end before they start in ets...ports are free with hardly trucks to see....if even scs gives attention to trucking part like trailers ai traffic and big towns game would be more than awesum....we are here to dicuss not argue or debate...so chill..

well i think writing here is not gonna change anything no one is i guess scs is caring to read it...or reply..or dey are damm busy..with ats...

Hi SCS, love the new stuff added to the game and I am glad I can see my speed o and rev counter a little better now, The new sounds are great and the performance of the game is getting much better on low end PC, I think adding different road noise sound when it rains will be good and maybe reverb in tunnels would be good, also maybe add a in time light blink with the hazards on the hazard button in cab like in real life, thanks SCS keep up the good work

just a suggestion, could you add sound for the gear selection on DAF Euro6? after all it is actually a switch. same for the mp4 and new volvo, I wish the gear stick actually moved. please add centre console for MAN TGX, if you could do it the premium, surely you can do it for the TGX. I drive a TGX for work as well as in the game and can't help but spot the missing features.

Sorry to say this, but once again a huge disappointment with the map, its nice that you've made 2 cities more, but even if you made another 200, it would still not improve anything, why? Because there is NO new CONTENT, just look at extremely amateurish mods that you can find all over the internet, even if they suck, they usually have at least SOME new road textures, buildings and so on and the only thing you did with this is copy the ,,default" roads,sidewalks and buildings and gave them a new name, Szeged, but if you removed the name from the picture, then there would be absolutely no difference between that and a city you made in France or Switzerland or Poland. Make at least 5 or 10 new buildings for each city and at least slightly different road textures and you'll refresh the whole game, but if you just keep putting the default roads and buildings and just naming them different each time, then you did nothing and you are just making the game worse, the main attraction of this game is exploration and if everything is the same, except perhaps a single building that you changed per city, then there is no point to explore the map, hence no point to play the game, seriously, if even amateurs can do it, so can you, a thousand times better.

This is one of the points I tried to make once before. All SCS is doing is copying and pasting old stuff.... and passing it off as "new"..... when it's not new at all. It's not bad enough that their cities have only maybe 8 or so streets comprised of mostly warehouses (not sure who's logic decided that.... maybe the same person who decided to have the right lane constantly exit).... but even when we do get a new city... we can't even count on it actually being a "new" city.... but rather... the old city copied again with a new name... and pasted somewhere else on the map.

I agree, it could be better with trailer investissment for our own enterprise, with mission requiring specific trailer. then an enterprise logo wich is applyed as a skin on trucks, trailers and enterprise's garage. Cohabitition with rigid body could be better like this.

SCS we want double trailers in ATS and be able to purchase our own trailers too we like A challenge with double trailers and big hills interstate 5 elevation of 4,144 feet. the grapevine is one of the steepest in California we don't want the same boring scenery textures all over the map single trailer delivery leave that to ETS no offence we are looking for A new and different game challenge

game is becoming a sadding tale.....we run over an over again on same roads and same scenry and cities intersection ......people are really getting boiled up....scs can do better...pls i vote for ets3 complete new era of trucking....hopefully i m heard...

If you're referring to scenery, and/or activity on the roads, then whether or not the vehicle is a "truck" is irrelevant. Driving, or even being a passenger in, any vehicle, being a truck, car, or perhaps a motorcycle, the result would be the same......

..... Here in Canada, a person doesn't really need a map, GPS, compass, or even a road sign, to tell them what province they are in.

New Brunswick is one of our most scenic provinces. The Forests, parks, lakes, etc, found in New Brunswick, is breathtaking for those who love outdoor life.

Quebec dominates in the culture of Art... easy understood not only with the structure of the buildings (nicely showcased in an area called "Old Montreal")... but also in the musuems.... and... the french language.

Ontario is our replica of "New York". A place of tech politics.... and where you find the most diverse sub communities of race, color, religions, and political views. Ontario is also our most heavily populated province... with Quebec being the second.

If you've ever visited Saskatchewan (the prairies)... you would have seen for yourself that you don't need a map to tell you where you are. Geographically, Saskatchewan speaks for itself so.... enough said.

Alberta, and British Columbia hosts a brand new sighting. The snowy mountains.

I don't know about the rest of the world.... but here in Canada... our world here is different.... not only as a Country... but also with each visit to our divisional provinces which showcase proudly a world of its own.

As for activities on the road.... oh c'mon. You actually think ETS2 provides an accurate representation of reality?

As much as I would love to see Canada added to the ATS game, at the same time, as a Canadian, and a resident of Quebec, I would be somewhat insulted to see the outstanding, and dominating cultural position of Quebec be downgraded to an "8 street ATS city of warehouses.

I know it's only a game so I don't want to get too invested when it comes to the game showcasing reality.... but in my opinion... the ETS2 cities we have today... do very little to show us the real beauty, culture, etc of the vary places we assume to be visiting (in the game).

I'm not suggesting a full city map, and/or a carbon copy of each and every building,etc. But... I am suggesting that 8 streets is not enough... and crowding these few streets with mainly only warehouses... gives us no real feel at all that we just visited and experience Paris, or Oslo, or Hamburg.

In overview.... and I say this as a beginner game designer... if you're going to assume the arrogance of adding Paris to a map, then you need to assume the responsibility of that arrogance as well, and actually put Paris on the map. If for some reason you can't assume that responsibility... then, fair enough, don't assume the arrogance.

When you drive into Paris (in the ETS2 game)... do you see the Eiffel Tower? Do you see "anything" that will tell you "hey, this is Paris"?

You don't need to make a carbon copy of each and every building. But you do need to create a Paris feel, an experience.... that ETS2 currently doesn't give us.

well yes since i have been to london infact born in ets no way its looks london only buildings are seen in background but streets omg....ets has different europe i guess time works extra fast ,lifeless environment...simple life, no snow , same rest stops its illegal to make a new kind off reststops......lol....ferries are simple no tickets just simply go and come back to new destination magic...abra-ka-dabra.....omg i forgot the channel tunnel its so damm smalll......i laughed whenever i go there in ets2...scs pls dont bring same in ats...did ats get enough appreciation .....i doubt.....well good luck scs ....

we are all tired of ETS2 we want ATS WE ARE YOU COSTUMERS WE demand for you SCS to release ATS give the trucks Fake names stop all that bull shit that you can't not get license We're Tired? off playing ETS2 close to 4 years

when I had a computer with amd fx-6300 and the R9-270 ati radeon,also had constant drawdown fps in cities up to 27 fps!switched to Intel i5 4590+gtx 750 ti.now that's my kind of town on the highway at 70-90 fps!and two times less power!

One should be 1:19 Beta Patch still set so that is to 50 km / h as in multiplayer from ETS also is when you come to the cities with the truck automatically throttled down! This is really great! And you should still take other cities to like Spain and others such as Russia.
